Alright basically i’ve been trying to eat healthier, my sister freaked when she saw me putting olive oil on my bread for a sandwich because i had quite a fair bit on it to cover the bread. (she said that the mediteranean diets only use a few drops of it)
i’ve been glancing around the internet & well there’s various bulls*it articles etc, can anybody find me some decent articles that can answer the regular FAQ on olive oil?
Yeah, instead of looking for an article on olive oil, I found one on types of fat:

Olive oil is healthier than most other oils. It has a decent amount of poly and mono unsaturated fats, but it still has a fair amount of saturated fat also.
Safflower oil is slightly less saturated fat per serving with similar total of poly/mono (although I think it’s a lot more poly and a lot less mono)
Overall though, if you’re asking in the vegetarian section, you probably still don’t consume even close to the amount of saturated fats that meat eaters do (Which is the entire health benefit of being vegetarian)
Oils are still high in calories though. So watch that.
